	CARDIGAN, Ceredigion, Wales, UK. Tourist information.
		At the heyday of the age of sail, Cardigan was the busiest port in the whole of Wales.
		Cardigan was the power base of Prince Rhys ap Gruffydd of the royal family of Deheubarth (South West Wales).
		Since Wales, Ireland, England and Scotland were independent in those days, there is a strong argument in favour of this first eisteddfod having been an international event since it was proclaimed the length and breadth of the British Isles.

	GENUKI: Cardigan Lewis
		In this contest the bards of North Wales gained the prizes for poetry ; and among the musicians those of the household of Rhys were allowed to have excelled in minstrelsy.
		In this partition the castle was assigned to Owain ab Grufydd; but Llewelyn much to the dissatisfaction of that chieftain,kept it in his own possession, and in the treaty which he made with the English king, and which was ratified at Gloucester in 1218, he engaged to restore, with all its dependencies, to the English.
		Maelgwyn ab Maelgwyn, a Welsh chieftain, having in 1231 forced his way into Cardigan, put all the inhabitants to the sword; and having laid waste and nearly demolished the town, he was checked in his career of destruction only by the fortifications of the castle, which were considered impregnable.

	Cardigan Castle
		Cardigan Castle's most significant role was as the greatest stronghold in the arsenal of Rhys ap Gruffydd, the Prince of Deheubarth better known as the Lord Rhys.
		And, when Gerald of Wales accompanied Baldwin, the Archbishop of Canterbury, on his mission in 1188 to recruit followers for the Third Crusade, the Lord Rhys warmly welcomed the clerics and their entourage to his fine castle at Cardigan.
		Cardigan Castle became a pawn in their struggles, and Maelgwyn seized the castle (and his brother), surrendered Gruffydd to the Normans, and sold the castle to King John "for a small worthless price (Davis)".
